My favorite part of this is that the redistricting would have had no problems in court if the Republicans had simply not talked about their race-related motives in public.

With that said, I don't have high hopes for the Supreme Court here.

This was always going to be the end result of gerrymandering. When you’re constantly abusing razor-thin margins, and a political sea change comes along due to your party worshiping a child raping monster, election results will be bad.

This is why repugs will almost certainly cheat in the upcoming midterms. Since elections are run by the state, I wonder if anybody will be able to stop them in Texas.

Have they tried not being fascists?

Perfect opportunity to find out whether or not they're just going to falsely declare seats for the Republicans that they didn't actually win, like both the state and federal GOP have been working towards for several years

Womp womp.

I'm a little curious how this impacts CAs efforts, as I believe those were meant to be contingent on TX but with appeals existing and the timeframe, I'm not sure when or if they'll undo what they were going to do in CA. And CAs is pretty obviously not race driven, even if it's blatantly partisan (yet that's legal because fuck us).

Would be really funny though if this backfires such that Ds get more gerrymandered seats overall, though, lol.

And of course the illegitimate, corrupt SCROTUS stepped in to allow the Republicans racist disenfranchisement.
